My Students
Every day I greet students with a smile at the door. We start off with "circle" time. Students are able to express their feelings in a circle. This technique helps with the social/emotional aspect of their lives. We engage in a rich text that helps with reading, writing, and expressing ideas.
My champions are inquisitive children who are always striving to learn beyond the curriculum.
They are children who are always wanting more and never allow their challenges to prevent them from learning and striving to be all that they can be. My scholars are very outspoken and enjoy having their voices heard. I call them the "great debaters" because they would rather verbally complete tasks with groups versus independent practices on a worksheet. They all enjoy hands-on learning. They love for their work to be displayed around the school or on bulletin boards. Our school is such a family-oriented environment. Every staff member takes responsibility for each child's well being. It is never "my students”, it is always "our students”.
My Project
We are officially back in the classroom after almost two years of being at home engaging in virtual learning. Students have expressed that they missed the simple things like playing games with their peers, making new friends, and working with paper and pencil. Things that we may view as being so simple, but these things are meaningful to children.
I would like to have a fun-filled week to make their "simple" but meaningful dreams come true.
The week before Christmas break is always so much fun, but I need help to make it a week my students will remember forever. I would like to have a week of themed days. For example:
Monday - Christmas in July - Students will dress in Hawaiian attire, receive a lei, and we will make healthy smoothies. This is what the cups and leis will be used for.
Tuesday - Ugly Sweater and game day. Students will be able to play uno, Jenga, bingo, cup stacking, and many more fun games.
Wednesday - Students will be able to dress in festive holiday wear to take a class photo. This photo will be used to send home to parents as our classroom Christmas card. The santa hats and holiday glasses will be perfect for our photo.
I would like to take the canvas bags and clipboards and personalize them for each of my students. These clipboards will be perfect for small group and for them to use when they move around the classroom. The canvas bags will also be personalized and ideal to put their materials in while switching classes.
Thank you in advance for bringing the joy we once had back into our classrooms.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
